Help! The body of my build disappeared!!

Builder

I've been working on this for almost a week now. I did keep a local backup a couple of days ago, but if you guys can't recover what I had 2 hours ago, I've lost 2 full days of work (And I've worked on it a lot the last two days!)

The thing that happened was I left my computer in Preview Build mode then clicked "Edit Build" and got a "Captcha" screen (I had never seen that before). When I clicked the captcha and OK, it took me to Edit Build, but the entire body of my build was gone!!

Thanks Mary! FWIW, I was able to recover the text (but that's all) from my browser cache. I can at least reconstruct the Build if I have to. (Couldn't recover the source, so if I need to go that route, I'll have to redo the inline image files and the google photo links, etc.) I can live with that - at least I won't have to come up with the words or formatting for my instructions again.
Thanks,
Scotty

I suspected the attachments might still be there, because even my recent edits in the other sections were still there (only the Body was missing). I didn't want to check though because I didn't want to mess things up by entering edit mode in the body while you guys were working on it. I can reconstruct it in a couple of hours using what I have.

I suspect Chrome sent something to your server that wiped out the code in the body. I suspect this because I wasn't able to use chrome to upload files in other sections last week. (I used Safari to upload those.) However, I am using the latest version of Chrome and don't have any strange settings. I was a little surprised when the Captcha popped up, but thought nothing of it until I saw that the Body had disappeared. I still suspect a small bug on your end in how it deals with Chrome, but you can quit looking on my account. I'm satisfied and will reconstruct the Build using Safari.

Mary, I don't know if you see the contact tickets, but it happened again. This time with Safari. And again after a captcha. It could be that my build is just too long or I'm not saving often enough.. Fortunately I just lost about an hours work this time. (I backed up the BB code about an hour ago.) It's still pretty frustrating though. I was nearing the end - but I think I'll finish it offline (except for formatting) and upload it sometime tomorrow or Friday.

Update, I did just get it back to my previous save (Safari history is better than chrome). Last hour is still missing though - but I'm good for now. One other note, when it happened this last time, I did get a java-script (or something) error, but stupid me, I didn't copy it down. I just hit reload, got another captcha, and then was taken to my empty build. If it happens again, I will copy any error I get.
I've learned my lesson.

I apologize for posting this thread in this forum. I just now noticed the "do not post bugs about builds" message. Please feel free to move the thread. I do have more to report, but I will do so in the appropriate forum.
Sorry,
Scotty

Your problem was due to the forum software so yes, you posted in the right spot. ("Bugs about builds" refers to problems with specific projects not working like mechanical conflicts, wiring errors, etc. which should be posted to that specific build.)
